On the other side, Zhang Mansion.

Zhang Lian, who had just returned home, recruited his two sons and entered a rather secret room in the backyard, and told them all about what happened in the imperial study.

"In front of His Majesty, Qiu Yan dares to be so arrogant and does not take you seriously at all!"

The third son immediately showed dissatisfaction and said anxiously: "That Qiu Yan was not a good thing at first sight. A poor man came into being and achieved some success, but he didn't know how humble he stole Haier's position in the Privy Council. Now he is even more arrogant and does not take his father seriously, but also implements the movable type printing technique. He is simply against us everywhere! According to the child, it's better to remove this person as soon as possible, and later changes will happen!"

Zhang Lian has three sons in total. The eldest son is placed outside the place and is about to be a magistrate of the border. The two sons in front of him are both Beijing officials. However, except for the eldest son who was from the imperial examination, the second son and the third son both serve as officials.

Despite this, as a family of aristocratic families, Zhang Lian was the priest of the times. In addition to the accidents of three sons, many heroes in the clan can be regarded as a powerful family and a representative of the aristocratic families in the world.

But specifically Zhang Lian's two sons may not be the Zhang family Junjie, but they will participate in many things. The third son who is speaking now is Zhang Xifan. He has a son named Zhang Hai. He has a confrontation with Qiu Yan in the Chengzhi Department, but in recent days, he has been marginalized in the yamen and is thinking about mobilizing.

In fact, not long ago, in order to suppress Geng Chi's power in the Privy Council, Wang Jing wanted to form an alliance with Zhang Lian, and he even came to his house in person.

Of course, the visits between the priests and officials were very concerned by the emperor. There were some twists and turns in it, which shows Wang Jing's sincerity, one of the conditions he proposed at that time. It was to let Zhang Hai take the seat of the emperor's order, but unfortunately it was destroyed by Qiu Yan's airborne. As his father, Zhang Xi, had a grudge. Now, when he heard his father, he was about to break out immediately.

"Analysis, don't worry, Qiu Yanming is hostile to his father, so it is not advisable to touch him in the short term, so as not to lose the trouble." But his second brother, who was beside him, spoke steadily.

The second son of the Zhang family, named Zhang Xiping, is about the same age as Zhang Xifan. After stopping his brothers, he told Zhang Lian: "The movable type printing technique created by father, Qiu Yan has a great impact on the aristocratic family and is likely to make the poor family rise and should not be underestimated. If it is not the beginning of the national war, a lot of power must be used to prevent it. However, the time is not yet available, so we should not tear the face with him."

"Xiping. The reason why you can say these words means you have thought carefully," Zhang Lian nodded slightly, "Why don't you know this for your father? The surname Qiu Xiu is so profound. Through our spy, he already knows that he can no longer be below the fourth realm. In the world of cultivation, he is also a giant. Such a person, for family planning, will not offend him easily even if he is disliked by his father, but some things are unwilling to do."

"Cultivation is not below the fourth level!" Zhang Xi turned his eyes and his eyes hopped, showing a little shock, "It's so powerful? I used to hear that this man was a monk, but I didn't expect to be so powerful. If that's the case, how can he be an enemy of him? What if he holds a grudge and his long life, wouldn't it be unfavorable to my Zhang family?"

It can be seen that it was the first time he heard this news, and his attitude changed immediately. His previous anger disappeared, but instead he was a little fear, showing his lingering fear. It was obvious that he had suffered losses in this area.

"Analysis, what do you think you are?" Zhang Lian showed a little regretful expression, "The Darui court is orthodox, and you are also a deputy official of the court, a descendant of aristocratic families. If you have the aristocratic spirit and the aristocratic luck to suppress yourself, what are you afraid of?"

"Yes," Zhang Xiping also said, "The fourth level monks are terrifying, but from ancient times to the present, the development of humanity has left justice, righteousness, and orderly blessings in the world. Cultivators are also subject to many constraints. Unless they have the awareness of abandoning their own cultivation and sinking into the sea of ​​suffering, how can they easily move the aristocratic families?"

"After that being said, if there is a possibility, it is a hidden danger after all. Having an enemy who will live forever is not a good thing. Besides, Qiu Yan can get involved in the court, which shows that there are some Taoist practices that should not be underestimated." Zhang Xi said, still couldn't let go, and he didn't say some words.

Although this aristocratic family has the support of luck, they also need to be coordinated with virtue cultivation, poetry and books, family inheritance and other factors, have virtue, knowledge, and have a little luck. Based on the present, even poor scholars can resist the troubles of monks to a certain extent, but they also have to worry about their affairs after their death. If aristocratic family has no virtue and no knowledge and skills, it will be difficult to last.

Zhang Xi learned about his own family affairs, and his team is really a loss of virtue.

"San'er, your worries make sense, but everything has gains and losses." Zhang Lian sighed, "The more you get, the more you bear. I didn't say that you would take all the good things, but don't bear the corresponding responsibilities. My Zhang family has the momentum and power. It depends not only on its own inheritance, but also on the support of the entire aristocratic class. For its representative, we should take responsibility!"

While speaking, his eyes swept over his two sons and said earnestly: "There are few things in the world that have the best of both worlds. Qiu Yan has deep cultivation, and there should be someone behind it. You should not offend it easily. Once you offend it, there is a risk. But sometimes, even if you know there is a tiger in the mountain, you still have to go to Tiger Mountain. Do you understand this principle?"

"I understand." Zhang Xiping nodded, "Qiu Yan is just a threat, but if my Zhang family does not show hostility and suppression towards him, and those forces supporting us will have abnormal movements. What really determines the rise and fall of the Zhang family is actually the aristocratic families behind it."

"No," Zhang Lian nodded slowly, with a serious expression. "In this battle between the imperial study room, why don't my father understand the way of cunning, and the prime minister and a little minister are angry. When it is spread, people will say that I, Zhang Lian, have a narrow mind."

After hearing this, the two sons looked different. Zhang Xiping showed regret, while Zhang Xifeng showed resentment.

"If it is not necessary, who will tear the face in person? But you must know that when it comes to expressing your opinions, if you don't do it more clearly and clearly, many people will not understand it. If you do something obscurely, they will blame you for it, and you still don't know what you will say. This is not people inside and outside. If you don't make things clear, someone doesn't understand it, you say you are useless, and you make things clear, and you will say that you are not good enough and you live to a dog."

Thinking of this, Zhang Lian's eyes showed a remembrance: "Do you still remember that Wang Fu's reform was the beginning of the emperor's thoughts for his father. He knew that it would be useless to say more and planned to wait and see that some people from aristocratic families could not hold back when they saw that their own interests were damaged. They forced me to express their opinions immediately in the court, and finally even used energy to invite Ma Yang back, and wanted to suppress me!"

As he spoke, he shook his head: "Being a father is also involuntarily. If you carry the reputation, you need to express something. Who in this world will really be willing to support you without seeking rewards? Those who really say that must have an unspeakable purpose, and even you have to hide it. However, I have acted a lot over the years and I am a little tired, but I still have to support you."

"It was the children's incompetence that implicated their father and had to be the big tree that sheltered from the wind and rain." Zhang Xiping lowered his head, and Zhang Xifeng also showed shame.

In official positions, in addition to power, there is also official spirit, which involves luck. When the official position reaches a certain level, it represents not a simple individual, but a attitude of the entire class, every word and action, and no longer a simple personal idea. It is almost a label, a wind direction, and a signal conveyed.

This is somewhat similar to the will of the school. I won’t say much about the personal cultivation of those great scholars, but once they represent the entire academy and school, their personal will will retreat, and what they replace is the will of the school.

Of course, this does not mean that personal means and power are useless, and those in power will still hold power, otherwise the Zhang family would not have the current status. This involves mutual benefit, so there is no need to say much.

In fact, there are other ways to show suppression of Qiu Yan and convey it to many aristocratic families, but Zhang Lian must conform to his usual image in front of the emperor.

This image is a political image, which is different from a true personal image, similar to the image that the gods show to believers.

In Qiu Yan's previous life, many leaders of countries would rely on propaganda to convey their own characteristics and establish a projection in the hearts of the people. This is the political image. As for whether he is really of this personality, it is not important, because the people and believers think you are, you are that image, because what the people want is just a label and a signal.

Similarly, what Zhang Lian showed was the emperor's impression of him.

It was a bit of a twist, but it was not complicated to think about it carefully.

"However, you don't have to worry too much. Although Qiu Yan has a high level of cultivation, he is only the power of a monk. In this world, he cannot travel all over the world by fists and cultivation alone. That is the idea that only wild beasts in the jungle have. Qiu Yan must understand this truth. Don't belittle yourself, thinking that mortals are not as good as monks. Just as mortals cannot understand extraordinary supernatural powers, it is difficult for monks to realize the power that we ministers have..."

After saying a few more words, Zhang Lian raised the suppression of movable type printing technology and was about to discuss it in detail, but suddenly his expression changed and made the two sons retreat.

The Zhang brothers were used to it and left after saluting.

After the two left, Zhang Lian sighed, came to a corner of the room, and knelt down directly.

There was a box in the corner. The moment Zhang Lian knelt down, a breath burst out. Then the lid of the box was opened, and a gloomy black air swarmed out from it!

A faint black aura appeared in Zhang Lian's eyes, which corresponded to it!

The next moment, a thought came out of the box—

"The day when this is coming is not far away, are you ready?" (To be continued...)
